#76 - Pack No Fears with Frans Diepstraten

On this episode, Adam is joined by Frans Diepstraten. Frans is an experienced mountain hunter that calls Alberta home but on this episode, we’ll be spending the bulk of the show talking about a BC mountain goat hunt that Frans recently returned from. For years, Frans has dreamt of testing his skills against a mature, shaggy maned billy, and this past fall, he finally put a plan in place to realize this goal. This hunt took him into some of the nastiest coastal terrain BC offers and he decided to add to the challenge by attempting to take a billy with his longbow.  Frans shares the successes, failures and hard lessons learned on what was a true adventure through and through. If you’re interested in chasing goats, and what’s required mentally, physically, and from a gear perspective, this is a show you will want to tune into.  Web: www.crooked-arrow.com Instagram: @_crookedarrow

075: Broken Bowhunting Dreams with Frans Diepstraten

Why Do You Hunt? – Frans Diepstraten Frans Diepstraten – My first exposure to hunting was probably around six years of age, going on big driven pheasant and hare shoots in my native country of The Netherlands. Recently I have fallen victim to the love of traditional archery. This year my hunting partner Kyle Steed and I will hunt with recurve and longbow. We started a blog to document the highs and lows of this endeavor www.crooked-arrow.com Why do you hunt …When in casual conversation with strangers or other people that don’t know me well the topic of hunting comes up, inevitably I get asked the question “Why do you hunt?” This can quickly be followed by other, often intentionally provocative statements, such as “Can’t you buy meat at the store?” or “Are you one of those trophy hunters?” There are many ways of answering these questions, assuming you have the gumption for a potentially lengthy and volatile conversation, each with a different angle: wildlife management, food acquisition, and personal motivation being a few of them. And though invariably the asker wants to know about the latter, I like to start from the broader perspective and talk about the role that hunting plays in the conservation and management of wildlife, and maybe follow that up with the healthy food angle. If we can get through that without calling each other names, there is a chance that the more nebulous drivers behind my motivation to hunt will find an open-minded audience.
